10 Trends to Add to Your Fall Wardrobe You Can Shop at the H&M Grand Reopening


Montreal's flagship H&M revealed its new look at a fancy soirée last night before officially opening for the public this morning. Really an impeccable timing as the warm and sunny days of Summer will soon give way to Fall's cool, crispy weather. And every fashion girl knows what a seasonal shift means... Closet edit!

For years now, H&M has mastered the art of re-inventing one's own fashion sense by curating endless re-collections of the best trends of the moment. And this Fall, they've done it again, rounding up amongst their newly revamped St-Catherine's store, the 10 trends you should absolutely add to your end-of-2016 wardrobe. Click through to shop my best picks from H&M Fall 2016 and H&M Studio collections...


1. PUFFER JACKETS

   

Before you know it, the Autumn chill will settle in, and you'll have no other option but to bundle up. Why not do it in style? Whether you're going for a hike in the mountain or just a quick walk in your neighborhood, puffer jackets will keep you cozy through the falling of the leaves. This ubiquitous outerwear is known for being big on warmth and now, thanks to H&M's update on our colder months classic, it has become BIG IN STYLE!


2. RUFFLES

   

This Fall, experience the rise of the “new feminine” side of fashion and welcome back the ruffles. This season’s fresh take on ruffles can be as subtle as a chic embroidered tier on a blouse or a shirt, or as festive a relaxed set of bell-shaped sleeves. The new feminine is pretty without being precious. It's flirty yet, sweet. And you'll love how these modern feminine pieces will make your best Fall looks flourish.


3. COLD SHOULDERS

   

Interpreting the runways' sexiest look so far, please say hello to the fashionable update on this Summer's cold-shoulder trend. Great news for the ladies who love their universally flattering design, shoulder cut-outs are taking over the Fall season with their cool, flirty and timeless factor. Pair it with a strapless bra and let those shoulders pop!


4. MOCK NECKS

   

The challenge of finding a good mockneck sweater is not an easy one. But after perusing the 90s nostalgic collection at H&M, I am conviced it is one of the most popular silhouettes of the season. More utilitarian than stylish in nature, this cold-weather must have is still one of the most versatile pieces worth investing in this Fall; not quite a crewneck and not a full-grown turtleneck, but it's the perfect transitional piece.


5. SHEARLING JACKETS

   

As soon as I saw the looks on the Fashion Week runways back in February, I knew shearling would be a huge trend once the cold weather hit. Contrasted with leather, suede, denim, or even military twill, the fur-like lining of shearling jackets will keep you toasty while the stylish finish is ideal for topping off any outfit. It's fresh and oh-so seasonal!


6. BOHEMIAN DRESS

   

In true boho girl vibes, slip into this season's most swanky version of the 70s spin-off. Breezy full-lenght dresses in floral prints, graphic patterns and tea length hemlines are everywhere this Fall so you can embrace the style that's back in a big way with nothing but a simple one-item swap. Sound easy enough? Give your wardrobe that groovy vibe you've been looking for…


7. CHOKER NECKLACE

   

If you have been living under a rock and didn't get the memo yet, the choker is back and it's gaining popularity by the nanosecond! Delicate and different, there's a good reason your favorite '90s staple has somehow gotten huge again and this Fall, H&M is bringing the recent neck-ccessorize craze to a whole new lever with edgy leather alternatives and charming unicorn pendants. Are you wearing one already?


8. PLAID

   

Although for me, days of the high-school tartan mini are long gone, plaid print remains a wardrobe staple of mine. Thing is, plaid is a print with a long history, from its start in the Scottish Highlands to its preppy rise during the 1990s. So, in the hopes of escaping the stereotypical prep-school style, I'm always on the prowl for a more updated way to wear this little classic. And apparently, so is H&M


9. BOMBER JACKETS

   

Looking for the perfect cover up this Fall? I don't know about you but so often I get wrapped up in finding the perfect Winter outerwear, I forget all about Fall. But breezy nights and the nippy morning chill can really get you so you'll need an option for this season too... You'll need a bomber! The lightweight spinoff of a varsity coat is trending so hard, H&M even got its own category dedicated to the style. When practicality and style meet in one single piece, everything seems right with the world ;)


10. NECKERCHIEFS

   

Last but not least, all hail to our beloved choker necklace's big brother, the neckerchief. Spotted around the necks of our favourite street style stars, this simple piece can put a fresh spin on any outfit. Sounds a little Western, I know, but a bandana tied around your neck is the perfect compromise between cute but not over-the-top and can add an extra inch of warmth to your Fall aesthetic.




EUROPE.....Museum Visits Recap Part Two: Les Arts Decoratifs Museum "Fashion Forward: 3 Centuries of Fashion" and "Barbie" Exhibitions!

Continuing with my EUROPE MUSEUM RECAP, here's Part 2 of my Blog. In my previous blog HERE I covered attending the "Vogue 100 Years of Style" London Exhibition as well as the "James Bond: 50 Years of Style" Exhibit in Paris. David and I were in Paris for less than 24 hours but we wanted to make sure to take advantage of the brief time we had.

Mon Dieu!--Nick Verreos at the "Fashion Forward: 3 Centuries of Fashion" Exhibition, Les Arts Decoratifs Paris



We were very excited when we found out that there were TWO fabulous fashion exhibitions in Paris and in ONE Museum: Les Arts Decoratifs. The exhibitions were "Fashion Forward: 3 Siecles de Mode" (3 Centuries of Fashion), and the "Barbie" Exhibition (enough said!). So, naturally, we had to attend!








Les Arts Decoratifs Museum, Paris France




So, let's begin with the "Fashion Forward: 3 Siecles de Mode" fashion exhibition. This amazing exhibition celebrates three centuries of fashion--from the 1715-2016. The Exhibition is a fashion designer's/fashion historian/fashionista/fashion lover's DREAM! It begins with stunning 18th Century clothing from the Louis XIV time including all the fabulous Watteau-backed gowns, elaborate brocade waistcoats, and then into the Napoleon and Empress Josephine era with the delicately gorgeous Empire gowns. The exhibition segues right into the bustle-backed fashion period and the start of modern Haute Couture with Charles Frederick Worth in the late 1800's and early 20th Century Chanel, Lanvin, Schiaparelli and so many more...

The exhibition then moved onto the 20th Century highlighting the height of Haute Couture with late 1940s/1950's designs from Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Cristobal Balenciaga, Pierre Balmain as well as the fabulous 1960's looks of Andre Courreges, Paco Rabanne, Emanuel Ungaro. When I walked into the main hall of Les Arts Decoratifs which contained these designs...I almost began to cry...

Next up was the "Barbie" Exhibition---------------------------------------------------------------------------





Barbie!--Les Arts Decoratifs Museum in Paris also had the wonderful "Barbie" exhibition, showcasing...Barbie (!), of course. The exhibit pays tribute to the iconic doll, featuring 700 versions of the doll with many different styles of Barbie fashion. I was especially excited to seeing this exhibition since naturally, I am and have always been, a big Barbie fan. Also, if you might remember, I had a very nice moment during my time on Season 2 "Project Runway" when my design won the "Barbie Challenge"...

I eventually had my own Barbie design sold all over the world. I also designed a "Malibu Barbie" look for the 50th Anniversary of Barbie celebration at the FIDM DEBUT fashion gala show. I was a bit sad that these creations/designs did not make it into the exhibition but, alas, there was enough there, to keep my attention.
